Make a plan to vote!
Have you filled out your mail-in ballot request form yet? Do you plan on mailing your ballot back or dropping it off at a secure ballot drop box? Are you going to vote in person early or on Election Day?
We are less than 50 days away from the 2020 election and now is the time to MAKE A PLAN TO VOTE!
REGISTER TO VOTE – October 13th Deadline
If you need to register to vote or change your voter information you can do so by October 13th. You can check that your voter registration is accurate here.
VOTE BY MAIL – October 20th Request Deadline
You must proactively request your mail-in ballot by October 20th. The Maryland Board of Elections will mail requested ballots out 30-45 days before Election Day.
You can request a mail in ballot online here or you return your mail-in ballot request form that was sent to all registered voters the last week of August. Please note that this ballot request form is not your actual ballot. If you are having trouble requesting a mail-in ballot, please call the Anne Arundel County Board of Elections and they will walk you through the process (410) 222-6600.
Once you receive your requested mail-in ballot, you can send it back via the mail or drop it off at one of the 32 secure Drop Boxes in Anne Arundel County. They will be located at voting centers and you can find the location nearest you here. These drop off boxes are monitored 24/7 and Board of Election staff will retrieve the ballots from the boxes twice a day.
Ballots must be postmarked by November 3rd or dropped off by 8:00pm on November 3rd. Please note that if you request a mail in ballot and then decide to vote in person; your in-person vote will be marked provisional on Election Day and not counted until the Board of Elections is certain you did not also return your mail-in ballot.

Anne Arundel County will host 7 Early Voting Centers, all of which will be open for Early Voting from Monday October 26th through Monday November 2nd 7:00am – 8:00pm. You can find a full list (and map) of early voting locations here.
